Prairie Sky Running Co.'s Reesor 50 is an unforgettable adventure through the rugged beauty of the Cypress Hills. The event features two distance options: the 83 km Reesor 50 and the 43 km Reesor Mountain Marathon. The Reesor 50 route travels through both Saskatchewan's West Block and Alberta portions of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park and has an elevation gain of nearly 2300 m. The Reesor Mountain Marathon traverses the park's West Block and has an elevation gain of over 1250 m. Both journeys take you across rolling meadows, winding trails, and beneath the towering Conglomerate Cliffs that stand as silent guardians of the land. Each step reveals new sights such as wildflowers, grazing deer, and the calls of distant hawks. The terrain tests your endurance, with challenging climbs rewarded by sweeping vistas.

Registrants receive race entry, race t-shirt, meal and beverage, finisher's token, and potential cash prizes for winners (tentative). The run begins and ends at Historic Reesor Ranch located near the West Block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.
